Hoodlums Burn ADC Ekiti Secretariat Ahead of State Executive Council Inauguration

Hoodlums reportedly set ablaze the African Democratic Congress (ADC) secretariat in Ekiti State, just ahead of the inauguration of the party’s State Executive Council.

The fire destroyed several properties, including a 1,000-capacity canopy with chairs, a 150-capacity canopy, and parts of the building.

Party members condemned the attack and urged security agencies to apprehend those responsible.

ADC loyalists have gathered at the secretariat on Basiri Road, Ado Ekiti, awaiting national officers who are expected to officiate the inauguration of the new state executive members.

Some members warned political thugs against actions that could spark unrest in the state, questioning why such violence occurred even before the start of political campaigns.
